A 3Iagniflceiit New Crimson Garden Rose. 



"As large as American Beauty, as double as I^a 

 France, and as red as Richmond," is the enthusiastic 

 way the originator describes this beautiful new- 

 Hybrid Tea Bush Rose. The color is vivid scarlet- 

 crimson, and of splendid substance. It has strong, 

 disease-resisting constitutioa, makes a rapid growth 

 and throws up a profusion of canes from the roots, 

 and is always blooming. As an all-around garden 

 Bush Rose it has no superior. 



Kaiserin Augusta Victoria. The greatest hardy white 

 Hybrid Tea Rose in existence. A strong, sturdy 

 grower; free-flowering: it has become the most 

 popular of all white Roses for general planting. 

 Continuously from early spring until late fall, with 

 pointed buds, the large, double flowers are glorious 

 in their perfection; borne on long, stiff stems; 

 delicate pure white, deliciously fragrant. Unex- 

 celled for cutting; absolutely hardy. 



Helena Cambier. The colors range from salmon-rose 

 to coppery-rose'. 



Camoens. A bright, handsome rose of dainty shade 

 of China rose suffused with pale yellow. The bush 

 is hardy, free-flowering and vigorous. 



Dean Hole. One of the handsomest of the Hybrid 

 Teas, growing into a stout, vigorous, hardy bush, 

 bearing all summer great numbers of gorgeous sil- 

 very-carmine Roses, with salmon shadings. The 

 coloring is distinct and unique, and the rose is a 

 handsome tribute to him whose name it bears. 



Etoile de France. One of the best and sweetest 

 hardy Hybrid Tea Roses of its color. The strong, 

 upright bushes have beautiful bronze-green foliage 

 which is not subject to insect attacks. The bushes 

 are blooming constantly, producing large, massive, 

 deep, full, cup-formed flowers on magnificent, long, 

 stiff stems. They are of truly glorious form and 

 delightful fragrance, while the color is exquisite — - 

 a clear red or velvety crimson.

 vety crimson, shading to vermillion toward 

 the edges. Buds long and pointed on

 one coming to perfection, and produced In

 pink, tinged with crimson; fragrance 

 delicious: flowers very full and wonder- 

 fully beautiful.

 A pure white member of the La France 

 family. 



General 3IcArthur. To those who prefer a 

 Rose with full color, we can recommend 

 none more highly than this goregous 

 crimson-scarlet Hybrid Tea. It is hardy 

 in practically all localities, and as an 

 outdoor Rose it has no superior. Of 

 strong, vigorous, healthy growth, branch- 

 ing freely, it produces its wonderful 

 blooms profusely from May until October. 

 Every shoot carries a large, double, well- 

 formed flower of exquisite fragrance, and 

 splendid lasting quality.

 rich carmine; blooms large and well

 stiff stems. Petals crinkled, on the 

 order of the Zinnia. Tall grower. Hardy 

 in all localities, and strong, robust grow- 



producing a handsome bush. Blooms all

The color is one so difficult to describe that any 

 description can only be a partial one, and gives but 

 a faint idea of the superb beauty and richness of 

 the shades. Salmon-flesh, shaded with rose. Buds 

 of unusual attractiveness, opening full and double. 

 Habit excellent, growth strong, produces flowers on 

 long stems, standing well up above the foliage, and 

 in great profusion all summer. 



Mad. Jules Grolez. This magnificent Rose is ex- 

 ceedingly free blooming, with very large, finely 

 formed fiowers. The color is a distinct and 

 charming shade of cherry-red. It is a remarkably 

 strong-growing variety, as hardy as the Hybrid 

 Perpetuals; free blooming, and in every way a 

 splendid garden rose. 

 3Ime. Melanie Soupert. The flowers are bright 

 golden-yellow suffused with faint tinges of pink, 

 with a handsome and distinct form, making a Rose 

 of great beauty. It is a strong, vigorous grower, 

 very hardy, and forms a handsome bush in the 

 garden. 

 Mad. Schwaller. Blooms in large clusters; large, 

 globular flowers; fine salmon-rose; finely edged 

 violet -carmine. 

 Meteor. Very few dark Roses compare with this in 

 richness and depth of color, which is a rich, vel- 

 vety crimson, shading- very dark in the depths of 

 the petals. The buds and fiowers are remarkably 

 large and of elegant form, full and double. As a 

 garden Rose it has few equals, being particularly 

 valuable for bedding on account of its sturdy 

 growth and handsome foliage. It is also valuable 

 for growing indoors in pots or in the conservatory, 

 and is constantly in bloom. 

 Mrs. Potter Palmer. Clear, shining pink; much like 

 La France. The flowers are large, full and double. 

 President Roosevelt. Blooms are finely formed, with 

 petals of wonderful substance; color, bright, lively 

 pink, which remains true to the last. The bloom of 

 this Rose is similar to a cherry blossom, and it 

 excels most of the pink kinds in its freedom of 

 blooming when planted in the open ground.
